"Of course, the CPU in the Steam Deck is going to bottleneck this card for sure," noted ETA Prime, "but I still want to see what it can do with a massive GPU attached to it. So, how did the Deck do? ETA Prime admits that this exercise told us less about the Deck’s potential performance with an external graphics card and more about what games are optimized for CPU processing and which games are optimized for GPU processing. Every Nvidia card, from the lowly GTX 1650 to the mighty RTX 3080 just didn’t allow the Deck to boot Windows 11, which was stored on the microSD card. Stream to Windows, MacOS, Linux, Steam Link devices, and Raspberry Pi 4. It should be noted that only Radeon-branded video cards worked with the Deck. Features Moonlight for PC, Mac, and more. Using an M.2 adaptor and an external PCI-E dock, ETA Prime was able to connect a Radeon RX 6900 XT to the Deck.
To start, there’s no PCI-E slots in the Deck, and the only option ETA Prime had to even install an external GPU was to use the M.2 slot that normally houses the Deck’s internal storage drive. This turned out to be easier said than done.
